• How sticky are local expenditures in Italy? Assessing the relevance of the flypaper effect through municipal data (2013, result): “To take account of this effect we have constructed a variable representing political strength (COMP) similar to that reported in Borge et al. (2008).”
• Public sector efficiency: leveling the playing field between OECD countries (2008, unknown): “The findings, in line with studies such as Barankay and Lockwood (2007 )a nd Borge et al. (2008) , suggest that countries with right-wing and strong governments, high voter participation rates and decentralized fiscal systems, are expected to have higher PSE.”
• Electoral rules and voter turnout (2011, unknown): “For instance, democratic participation shapes income distribution and government size (Mueller and Stratmann, 2003) as well as it increases public sector efficiency (Borge et al., 2008).”
• Evaluating efficient public good provision: Theory and evidence from a generalised conditional efficiency model for public libraries (2011, background): “3 ate how the institutional environment — in terms of socio-demographic, economic or political characteristics — affects efficiency, or look at this via an econometric two-stage approach (e.g., De Borger et al., 1994; Geys, 2006; Hemmeter, 2006; Borge et al., 2008).”
• Value for money? German local government efficiency in a comparative perspective (2011, background): “(2010), Kalb (2010) previous studies of global local government efficiency use a two-step approach to explore how socio-economic and political influences affect efficiency (e.g. De Borger et al., 1994; Borge et al., 2008).”
